Is Akali really OP?

[quote=Protocol]Just like all stealth champions, to easy to catch out of position with Oracles Elixer. That's all you need to run, once you burst her down they are without an AP carry and its a 5v4 engage.[/quote]

[quote=Yougan]All champions can get OP, some are just being able to get fed better. :3[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Short answer, no. Lang answer: She dominates most champions in a 1v1 simply because of her fast damage, healing and energy regen. The fact that she doesn't need any energy to use her ult, and she can use it 3 times in a row if you're trying to escape is just tragic for whoever she comes across. If you're in said 1v1, and it's not going her way, she can break focus with her shroud and heal up or escape. This also punishes stupid people who stay in the shroud because they can't hit her, for the most part, if she's invis. Most people in soloqq will not or do not want to spend gold on vision wards to counter 1 champ, much less 75 for the map control.[/quote]

[quote=TheJohn]I spent some months playing as Akali when I bought her, and I was amazed. She was my first assassin, and the role's name says everything, shes meant to kill the squishies, [i]tons of damage[/i] She's not OP tough, people doesnt know the difference between fed, high burst and OP[/quote]

[quote=Beeswarm17][quote=TwixTrip09] Are there any pro players that are good to watch or do you have any advice for escaping after a team fight initiates? [/quote] Westrice, I guess? He's the one that I know of, but there's probably others. Example: [embed=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz1wy9JTi6I][/quote]

[quote=Embracing]Voyboy, Westrice. They don't play Akali much, but there are replays and vids of them. When a teamfight gets initiated you don't want to be in it. You should be waitin for hell to break loose then enter and qwer[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Akali is considered OP by some players because she free wins a lot of match ups, and she can snowball games.[/quote]

[quote=kadun]Just tell them to learn their counters and pick an counter to akali, of course you'll win if you counter pick them. I've seen lee's killing them with ez and if they just pick up some early magic resist the damage will be reduced greatly[/quote]

[quote=BusDriver210]Buy health, counter burst. (aka [[akali]])[/quote]
